Yes it’s £300 ish per disposal area per yearCan it not be put onto grassland these days?
Not to the letter of the law you can’t. Must be on a designated area agreed and licenced by the EACan it not be put onto grassland these days?
How on earth they think they can charge us £300 for disposal on our own ground is beyond me? Yes designate an area we are allowed to use, not next to the river etc. but how the hell do they merit £300?? barstewardsYes it’s £300 ish per disposal area per year
I’ve got maps that show large areas we could spread on years ago, obviously being organic I can’t now but we stopped dipping the same year we converted.Not to the letter of the law you can’t. Must be on a designated area agreed and licenced by the EA
Yes that’s my thoughts too. It goes into the ‘principal of the matter’ part of lifeHow on earth they think they can charge us £300 for disposal on our own ground is beyond me? Yes designate an area we are allowed to use, not next to the river etc. but how the hell do they merit £300?? barstewards
many years ago, I had permission to dispose of dip on the farm here, if I remember correctly I had to send in a map of the farm, and they told me where I could spread it (and told them where spring water for the house came from too). Then became organic and OP's are not allowed so let it lapse, no idea what the rules are now.Not to the letter of the law you can’t. Must be on a designated area agreed and licenced by the EA
It’s an annual fee it went up to around £900 from £300 ish but they had altered the volumes and charges per cubic metre we claimed it backmany years ago, I had permission to dispose of dip on the farm here, if I remember correctly I had to send in a map of the farm, and they told me where I could spread it (and told them where spring water for the house came from too).

I seem to remember reading the synthetic pryethenoids were far safer for the operator than OP's but far far worse for the environment.The Welsh Water springs they use to use for this area had to be disregarded allegedly because of the sheep dip contents from the hills apparently???
They told me that at college. Those SP dips were nastyI seem to remember reading the synthetic pryethenoids were far safer for the operator than OP's but far far worse for the environment.

Are you England or Wales.It’s an annual fee it went up to around £900 from £300 ish but they had altered the volumes and charges per cubic metre we claimed it back
But that didn’t provide the boys with lots of paperwork and jobs…Dip disposal charges and licences.are.the reason scab cases have rocketed over the years. Nobody ever saw scab when it simple to just spread it with your slurry
Exactly. It's just a cash cow. There was more fish in the rivers thirty years ago than now too. Let the slurry, effluent and dip go straight down the brook again and we can have trout for supperBut that didn’t provide the boys with lots of paperwork and jobs…
